The Engineer - Elesa Expands Further into ATEX-Compliant Hydraulic Components

ELESA is thrilled to announce their breather cap product extension; providing solutions that redefine the functionality of sealing hydraulic tank fillers, alongside a new ATEX-compliant range, reflecting their commitment to industry-leading safety standards. 

These innovative caps enable smooth air interchange as fluid is channelled to or from the hydraulic reservoir. With Elesa's unique labyrinth geometry, they act as a robust barrier to spillage, perfect for equipment used at variable angles or machines in transit.  tank mounted return line filter
